5.0 out of 5 stars Another "must have" for your Aromatherapy library, February 3, 1999

By	Marian K. Brown (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Valerie Worwood has put together another great aromatherapy source. Focusing on love, romance and sensuality this is another "must have" for your aromatherapy library. Great information on how essential oils work, affect our emotions, and horomone release.

4.0 out of 5 stars The romance of fragrance, March 29, 2003

By	Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

The author examines the powerful sense of smell and shows how pure essential oils of nature can enhance the pleasures of daily life, with emphasis on the romantic side of life. The chapters discuss questions like What are essential oils? How to use them, The scentuous woman, The scentuous man and Synergistic blends of oils, among others. The text includes many tables of oils suitable to various body types and hair colours as well as tables recommending the right oils for a variety of conditions including tension, stress, anxiety and depression. This is quite an authoritative book on essential oils and their applications with a beautifully illustrated text. An extensive bibliography and index round off this valuable contribution to the literature on the therapeutic uses of fragrance. Definitely a must for aromatherapists and for practitioners of alternative medicine.

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful guide for more advanced work, April 21, 2000

By	"soileddove" (California) - See all my reviews

I agree that there should be warnings about a few of the oils mentioned in this book. That aside, it is well worth getting if you are more experienced and know something about the oils already. It is full of many ideas and recipes specific to romantic and sexual aromatherapy, and would help complete that area of your library. I recommend it not as a basic, but as something more in depth.
